| Inhalt: |
| Sickert vs. Sargent brings to Iife two of the biggest characters in modern British art; Walter Sickert - the gruff, aggressive man-of-the-people; and John Singer Sargent - the urbane and charming dandy. The film focuses on some of the most beautiful and alarming paintings ever made in this country; pictures of aristocrats and prostitutes, coronations and kilIings, opera houses and music halls, and wiII evoke the long-Iost atmosphere of Edwardian London. But above aIl it wiIl show that from their two outposts in CheIsea and Camden, Sickert and Sargent were waging a war whose Iegacy still haunts us today. These two larger-than-life immigrants were battling for nothing less than the future souI of British art. Surveying the big names of recent British art Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, Paula Rego, Jenny SaviIle, Lucien Freud, Francis Bacon and their thick paint, ugly aesthetic and proletarian fleshiness, it is cIear that it was the master of the kitchen who was victorious. |
